Games Workshop has launched seven classic Warhammer video games on Steam for the first time. The release includes three fantasy titles and four games from the Warhammer 40K universe, alongside a dozen additional games returning to the platform after years of unavailability.

The fantasy releases consist of Shadow of the Horned Rat, Mark of Chaos – Gold Edition, and Dark Omen. The sci-fi 40K titles include Chaos Gate, Fire Warrior, Final Liberation, and Rites of War. This marks a significant expansion of Games Workshop's digital catalog on Steam, giving PC gamers renewed access to titles that have been difficult to obtain through official channels. The move comes as the tabletop gaming company continues to explore digital distribution for its intellectual property. The exact pricing and availability details for individual titles were not specified in the announcement. Fans of classic strategy games and Warhammer lore now have an opportunity to experience these decades-old releases through a modern distribution platform.
